Stem – Prosthetic Aid
People who use and make prosthetics occupy a world filled with interesting technology and relationships. Perhaps the most surprising discovery I made was that most amputees are in very poor health to begin with. Coupled with that, they typically receive limited financial support due to their conditions. These two things steered my concepts towards creating something that could help.
This concept is intended to be simple and affordable. It’s main goal is to provide prosthetic users with an aid that improves control of their prosthetic foot. With this aid the hope is to help those with poor health become active and improve their conditions. The design also factors in the role of the prosthetist and adjusts to fit patients needs.
